Your little cute earth is online

When Lin Xingzhu heard this, he subconsciously froze.

He and Ji Yuncheng looked behind at the same time.

The visitor was an old man with silver hair. His eyes fell on the glowing phantom of the star map, and his expression was cheerful and gentle.

"...I'm sorry, I seem to have interrupted your conversation." The old man said belatedly, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and lowered the glass towards Lin Xingzhu as a sign Respect and apology, "Forgive me, an old man who doesn't know how to be funny. It's just that this starry sky is so beautiful, and it contains too many secrets, so I was abrupt."

The old man turned his eyes around Lin Xingzhu and Ji Yuncheng, and smiled as if he had sensed something.

"You're too polite." Lin Xingzhuan recovered, heaved a sigh of relief, and replied with a wry smile.

"I'm Charles Hamilton, temporarily serving as the research advisor and president of the society." The old man introduced himself, and his tone made people feel refreshed, "May I ask who you are...?"

Lin Xingzhu subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect to catch a big shot of this level in one catch. Now he couldn't answer if he wanted to.

"My name is Lin Xingzhu." He said while spreading his palms in Ji Yuncheng's direction, "This is Ji Yuncheng."

Chairman Hamilton was silent for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you from the deep sea base?"

Lin Xingzhu: "..." Should we say that Jiang is still old and hot? The chairman immediately exposed Lin Xingzhu's intentionally vague identity background.

Lin Xingzhu had hinted many times before that he was a scholar from the Deep Sea Base, because he was afraid that his background from the Qiming Base would affect his contact with people from the Freedom Association.

But, now, just a face-to-face meeting, the old man made his previous efforts to hide it in vain.

"That's right." Ji Yuncheng admitted frankly, "We are not from the deep sea base."

"No wonder...it's not surprising that they are from Qiming Base. I thought my news was so closed that I didn't even know that a new nebula was photographed." The president shook his head and said, "That makes sense."

Lin Xingzhu: "..."

Lin Xingzhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that he can at least put the blame on the Qiming base, so that he won't have to rack his brains to explain the problem of astronomical observation.

"Hahaha, please rest assured. Although you are guests from the Qiming base, the society will not reject you because of this." The president seemed to see Lin Xingzhu's uneasiness, and waved his hand with a smile, " After all, this starry sky belongs to all human beings, and it doesn’t make sense for us to hide it—in these difficult days, the only beautiful and peaceful thing around is this vast starry sky. I can share this comfort with Friends from afar, we will be proud of that."

Lin Xingzhu blinked.

Leaving aside the messy things of the Freedom Association and the Listening Sect and their respective positions, Lin Xingzhu actually quite likes this open-minded and gentle president.He not only has a kind of calm and calm accumulated over the years, but also a kind of childlike innocence and sincerity.Lin Xingzhu had never seen such a person before.

"You... don't mind if we deliberately hide our identities." Lin Xingzhu said.

President: "Why do you mind—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in the gray vest who had just chatted with Lin Xingzhui and the others rushed over panting through the crowd—seeing that the president was already talking to Lin Xingzhu, his face was filled with embarrassment. Concealing his surprise and excitement, he shouted: "Teacher!...So you are here. By the way, these two are the guests I want to introduce to you, especially this Mr. Lin, who is from the scientific research department of the base. Senior scholars—"

Lin Xingzhu/Ji Yuncheng: "..."

President: "..."

Lin Xingzhu took a deep breath, took a step back, and asked Ji Yuncheng, "Is it too late for us to run away now?"

"It's too late." Ji Yuncheng said firmly.

After a while of embarrassing explanations, the young man in the gray vest really had a hurt expression, and he accused Lin Xingzhu in his most resentful tone: "You lied to me!"

Lin Xingzhui said in a self-deprecating manner, "Who--when did I 'take the initiative' to explain my identity to you?"

Gray vest: "..." It seems that there really isn't one.Regarding the question of identity and background, Lin Xingzhuan's answers were ambiguous. Regarding Lin Xingzhuan's origin and identity, he made up his own initiative, and Lin Xingzhuan just didn't deny it.

"Then you also mentioned the leader—"

"About this point, I didn't lie to you. I have a good relationship with Samuel. It's normal to have a few chats when we have nothing to do."

"But you—"

"Ahem." The young man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the president's cough. The president felt that he had to do something to end this farce, so he said dumbfoundedly, "Okay, Xi Denis, this is the end of the matter."

It's not good for both parties to get entangled.

But in this way, the president also understood—"The Free Astronomical Research Society is eager to climb Samuel's lap", this matter is almost known to everyone, even the guests from the Qiming base know.

It seems that the recent movements of the society are still too conspicuous... The old president sighed secretly.He was not good at these crutches in the first place, and now he felt that his hair was a little grayer.

"Okay, let's talk about it. What are you two coming to this exchange meeting for?" asked the president.

"Part of the reason is curiosity, and the other part is..." Lin Xingzhui glanced at Ji Yuncheng, and said helplessly, "Most of the reason is to catch the people who listen to God and protect the safety of the society. "

After the chairman finished listening, the expression on his face read "So it is".But the young man named Sidney turned pale, and said in a panic, "The God-listening faction? Are those lunatics really here?—Where, where are they?"

"Calm down. We just infer that they will come." Lin Xingzhu said helplessly, "Isn't this just to prevent problems before they happen."

Sidney breathed a sigh of relief, and his fear immediately turned into uneasiness, and he resorted to his words: "So, we are looking for people everywhere now, just to prevent this kind of thing. The murder that happened to Wu Xiao before We were terrified..."

"Cough cough...cough!" The president coughed violently again, signaling that he was talking too much.

Sidney's expression froze, and he hurriedly stopped talking, a faint blush appeared on his pale cheeks.

Lin Xingzhu: "..."

Lin Xingzhu: "Well, anyway, we also want to help."

"The Listening Sect is here for the Liberty Association, and we know this." The president said, "But today's exchange meeting is not only to finalize our intention to cooperate with the base's senior management, but also to use this exchange to It will show the attitude of the society-although the two "Free Society for Astronomical Research" and "Freedom Society" do not completely overlap-but we will not back down, this is our principle."

After all, they just had a young scholar who was "cut into pieces" by the God-listening faction in extremely bad ways.

Lin Xingzhu felt a little moved - the society seems to be quite reliable.

This emotion lasted until the president invited them to attend the internal meeting of the Freedom Association.

"Aren't you here to learn about the Liberty Association? Then you come here." The president said so, while sending them a golden tie tied around the wrist, "The meeting will start on time in an hour ——It’s in the innermost part of the venue.”

Lin Xingzhui looked at the strap on his wrist, then turned his head to look for the base agents in the crowd, and found that most of them also got this thing.

Now, both members of the Freedom Association and Samuel's people are carefully hiding themselves and waiting quietly——

The Lingshen faction has always regarded themselves as hunters, but this time, they have become "expected" prey.

......

An hour later, the star chart was withdrawn, the exchange meeting was held abnormally, and the internal meeting of the Freedom Association was about to begin.

According to Samuel's investigation, the tendency of the Liberty Association is clear and fierce, and in terms of its stubbornness, it is not far behind the Theosophical School.

But Lin Xingzhui followed the crowd into his seat, and most of the figures he saw were silent and introverted.

They are very quiet, and few people whisper to each other before the meeting has started.Even if there are two private conversations, the sound is not much louder than the chirping of mosquitoes and flies.

But Lin Xingzhu could feel that a deep, sticky pressure was slowly flowing on the god-black conference table, and everyone was in it, and everyone knew it well.

The surrounding lights were a bit dim, and Lin Xingzhui calmly tried to determine where the "Rose Agents" of Jucourt were sitting, but he really couldn't identify them all, so he gave up for the time being.

Soon, President Charles walked slowly to the middle of the meeting room with his cane in hand.

"Good evening, everyone."

"I'm glad that today, all of you present still have the courage to sit in this conference room as members and volunteers of the Freedom Association..."

The chairman started his opening remarks.

He seemed to have a gentle demeanor, and his tone of voice was not impassioned, but every word and every word always carried a weight of strength.

"...Today's gathering, we have changed our attitude. I believe everyone has understood the entanglement between us and the Godsense - they want all human beings to serve the 'gods' submissively, while what we pursue is absolute the lighthouse of freedom. The disaster that is happening among us today is not caused by that young man who died...but by the conflict of faith between us and the Theosophists Yes. I hope you can make that clear."

"Even if we die, we die in pursuit of a free soul—"

As he spoke, the president thumped the cane in his hand.

"Drip...drip."

The faint sound of the stopwatch moving hands sounded from nowhere.

"We decided to seek assistance from the decision-maker of the base, the leader Samuel. From now on, we will stand on a united front, expel all factors that hinder human freedom, and ensure the smooth progress of the space immigration plan." The chairman took a light breath , said, "For this, we will send the star map model we built ourselves to the base..."

With that said, the old president walked towards the virtual video projector in the conference room.There is nothing he has to do, just turn on the release button, and let the reduced version of the star map appear on the conference table——

With a click, he pressed the metal button.

In an instant, the projection equipment was activated, and a huge bright red countdown interface appeared in front of everyone.

Countdown:

00:00:59

The old president's eyes widened instantly.
